In a recent interview as part of the WWE After The Bell podcast, Jeff Jarrett discussed several topics, including his new role as the WWE’s SVP of Live Events.

“In 2018, I got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, fast forward to a year later, did the Royal Rumble and came on kind of in a quasi-producer role, and then I guess I was under the creative writing team, which encompassed a lot.

After about six months, I was moved into the live event department and in a lot of ways, I’m kind of coming back to the position that I got into, I love it, it’s a passion of mine it goes without saying. My family has been, my grandmother, 1946, got into the business, live events is a passion of mine and I worked in live events in 2019 up until the pandemic, but that’s a whole other story. I came out of a live event meeting, went to La Guardia, got on a plane and heard people in first class talking about the pandemic, the whole world shut down and during the pandemic, I worked in international for quite some time and then, we went our separate ways.

As of late, it all happened really quick and it’s hard to believe that WWE is already back on the road almost a year, everyone knows the organization made smart decisions to run lean and mean, highly profitable. I’m really grateful that the executive team said we’d like you to come back to the live event department. There is so much that goes into live events. Years ago, it was house shows, but the live event name is more appropriate, because that’s what it is, you come to see it live. We changed the wording and what I am dialed into is the non-televised live events, it’s an incredible undertaking.”
